On Tuesday I drove to Luck in the afternoon and saw 7 eagles on the trip. The snow banks along the road have melted to reveal the road kill from the winter.
This big guy was having lunch and I was able to get a few snaps of him.
 |
| Yum? |
 |
| Now he sees that I have stopped along the road. |
 |
| Off he goes |
 |
| He perched nearby, waiting for me to leave so he could finish lunch. |
 |
| His beak was bloody. |
 |
| He waited patiently until I drove off. I saw him there again when I came back a few hours later on. |
| On my way back from Luck, I came upon this juvenile eagle on a deer carcass. The lighting was dim but I got one snap as he flew off to a very distant tree. I wonder if the folks who are driving 48 between Rice Lake and Luck are starting to recognize my car pulled over. Maybe I should have a bumper sticker that says "I brake for deer carcasses".  |
| I only got a shot of him as he flew away. |
